History

In 1940, shortly after the British and French armies evacuated Dunkirk before the advance of the Nazis, the british hero knwon as Citizen V returned to occupied France and assembled the V-Battalion. Along with his girlfriend Paulette Brazee, Watkins took them on many successful missions over occupied Europe and even in Germany. In 1943, Brazee infiltrated the inner circle of Nazi scientist knwon as Baron Heinrich Zemo, taking the codename Wolf and finally helped Citizen V, Captain America and Bucky to destroy the weapon Particle X-Zemo.

Vindictive, infiltration Zemo turns the V-Battalion with one of his men, and when the Citizen V led the Battalion in Poznan, Poland, to establish an uprising, the undercover agent led the Citizen V into a trap. Citizen V was strangled by Zemo before his men captured. Subsequently, the majority of the remaining members were killed by Zemo’s henchmen
